The USD detour isn't a feature. It's a toll booth you were born paying.
Modality is Stablecoin settlement rails for B2B payments — the technology layer between your business and licensed institutions. Hold balances in 36 currencies. Settle any of 630 direct pairs. Pay out to 63 countries — 24/7, rate quoted before you commit. The dollar doesn't get a cut.
The old route is a toll booth
Correspondent banking charges roughly 1.5–3% (a Modality estimate) across legs and sits on your money for 2–5 business days. Every leg is a bank you've never met, each skimming a cut. The USD detour isn't a feature — it's the toll.
What direct pairs actually change
- No forced USD detour. Any of 630 fiat pairs convert natively (EUR→TRY, GBP→NGN) — one spread, not two.
- One spread, quoted up front. You see the all-in rate before you commit. No surprises in the settlement.
- 24/7 settlement. Weekends and holidays included; the stablecoin leg moves in minutes, not days.
- Non-custodial by design. Modality routes settlement but never holds your funds — licensed partners do. We can't compete with you for your customer.
What actually moves
Stablecoins: RLUSD, USDC, USDT. Chains: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP. Rails: SEPA, SEPA Instant, SWIFT, Faster Payments, local schemes, public chains.

Note: the 1.5–3% cost and 2–5 business day figures are Modality estimates for a typical correspondent-bank route, not a published benchmark. Actual cost and timing vary by corridor, currency pair, bank and amount.
